Glow and Gather

Glow and Gather is an intimate, community-centered experience open to all, while intentionally centering the voices, experiences, and well-being of Black women. It is a space to pause, connect, and pour back into yourself through meaningful conversation, shared meals, and collective reflection.

For Glow and Gather 2026, guests will come together for a self-love luncheon featuring a shared meal and a live recording of the Black Women Deserve Podcast. Through guided dialogue and storytelling, we create space to explore lived experiences, wellness, identity, and the everyday realities of being a Black woman, while also fostering connection across the broader community.

This year’s gathering also includes a community care component supporting a feminine hygiene product drive benefiting the River Food Pantry, turning connection into tangible impact for women and girls in our community.
